Rob Lowe sent the loveliest congratulatory text to Bradley Cooper after the 2024 Golden Globes.

The issue, however, is that although Cooper was nominated for both Best Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama and Best Director of a Motion Picture for his work in Maestro, he did not walk away with a win in either category.

Yes, Lowe sent the text to the wrong nominee.

He told host Kimmel that after the Golden Globes ceremony, he intended to send the message to Robert Downey, Jr. who won a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture for his role in Oppenheimer.

Lowe explained:

“So Downey does this amazing acceptance speech at the Golden Globes. And I’m so excited for him."
"So I text him: ‘So glad you won. That is the most beautiful acceptance speech I’ve heard in a long time. Boy, do you deserve it.’"
"I hit it. And I realized, oh sh*t, I just sent that to Bradley Cooper... who did not win.”

He continued that his effort to clarify only made matters worse.

"So then I was like, ‘Oh, I gotta make it better.’ And I said, ‘No, no, I meant that for Robert Downey Jr.’ But now that’s even worse!”

Lowe then attempted to send the message to its rightful recipient but somehow managed to text the congratulations to Cooper once again.

When Kimmel asked if Cooper now thinks he's "crazy," Lowe responded:

“He literally said... he said, ‘No, no, no, it’s OK. I like living vicariously through these mistakes.’”

Swiss Church Sparks Debate After Introducing Bizarre AI Jesus Hologram To Take Confessions

A church in Switzerland is stirring debate with its use of an AI-generated Jesus hologram for confessions. Dubbed Deus in Machina (“God in Machine”), the project is installed at St. Peter’s Chapel in Lucerne, the city’s oldest Catholic church.

The hologram, developed by experts from Lucerne University’s Immersive Realities Center and a parish theologian, greets users with, “Peace be with you, brother,” and invites them to share what’s troubling their hearts. It can respond in 100 languages, with answers based on sacred scripture and theological texts sourced from the internet.

Dem Rep. Expertly Pinpoints Why Republicans Are Dismantling DEI Programs In Mic Drop Rant

Speaking during a House Oversight Committee hearing, Pennsylvania Democratic Representative Summer Lee expertly pinpointed why diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs are being targeted by Republicans nationwide, noting that "remedying past discrimination is not, in turn, a discrimination."

DEI programs are organizational strategies aimed at ensuring fair treatment and full participation for everyone, with a special focus on historically marginalized or discriminated groups. These frameworks strive to create an environment where all individuals, regardless of their identity or abilities, are valued and included.
